As Bitcoin consolidates slightly below its "worst-case scenario" monthly closure target, Ethereum reaches all-time highs, giving altcoin its day in the limelight.

After "aggressive" buying on <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-says-sec-vs-ripple-case-seems-to-be-going-better/">Coinbase</a> prompted multi-day highs, Bitcoin (BTC) held $61,000 throughout the weekend.
<h2>Buyers of Coinbase Bitcoin Step up</h2>
According to TradingView <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/?exchange=BITSTAMP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">data</a>, BTC/USD has cooled overnight after briefly approaching $63,000.

In the meantime, popular trader and analyst Pentoshi reported selling elsewhere, notably from one whale whose BTC divesting has already <a href="https://twitter.com/Pentosh1/status/1454099534443864072" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">reached</a> over 1,000 BTC, each sold on the open market in batches of 20-30 BTC.

The weekly and monthly closes on Sunday will be of interest to market players, with the latter potentially reaching an all-time high. 

BTC/USD may potentially close above $60,000 for the third week in a row.
<h2>The Market Capitalization Of Ethereum &amp; Altcoin Market Has Reached All-Time Highs</h2>
As the weekend began, though, it was all about cryptocurrencies for many.

On Friday, Ethereum's Ether (ETH) reached new all-time highs, assisting the whole altcoin market cap to achieve new highs of its own – $1.473 trillion.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) rose on Oct. 28 despite large capital rotations out of the market of its leading meme currency rival, Dogecoin (DOGE).

Notably, DOGE's price increased by slightly more than 44% to hit an intraday high of $0.3449. Its profits contrasted with SHIB's losses during the same time. 

On the other side, the so-called "Dogecoin killer" fell over 28% to an intraday low of roughly $0.000057; DOGE printed its daily high in the same hour.

The rapid price increase also lifted DOGE's market value to more than $40 billion, a feat Shiba Inu had achieved just hours before, with the two cryptocurrencies now neck-and-neck for the ninth position by market cap.

Traders flocked to Dogecoin markets only hours after Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, tweeted about the parody cryptocurrency.

DOGE increased by more than 1,500% in the first five months of 2021 as a result of Musk's earlier favorable tweets.
